Ann Reinking

Ann Reinking (born November 10, 1949 in Seattle, Washington) is an American actor and dancer who made her movie debut in 1979 in All That Jazz in the role loosely based on herself and her relationship with Bob Fosse. In the film, Reinking starred opposite Leland Palmer (playing a role inspired by Fosse's wife, Gwen Vernon), Jessica Lange, Ben Vereen, John Lithgow, and Roy Scheider as Bob Fosse. In a case of life imitating art, Reinking was actually in a long term relationship with Fosse for many years before his death.
